This picture is NOT digitally enhanced at all!
No layers here, not over impression, no color changes, nothing has been done to this photo…The bottom of the basin was turquoise granulated cement, there was a low palm bush standing just beside and overcasting the basin, a taller and different colored palm tree was also overcasting the basin, the water was a little cloudy and murky white, the skies above that day where gray, blue for some part and white opaque clouds where passing by…
CAMERA : Photosmart HP927-8.2 Megapixels-3x optical zoom.

    All the reflections and pond base make a very varied and interesting image

    This is great Carole! At first glance, I thought that is was a photoshop composite, but then I read your description and realized that the great colours and textures were all reflections. It’s a great capture, very well done!
